Democrats and Gun Control

It's become a largely partisan issue.  Like everything else in our culture today, there doesn't seem to be any middle ground.  Or any bending from what is the generally accepted orthodoxy of whichever side you're on.

Saw this blog post and thought I'd share.  You can read it here.   It's essentially a liberal talking to his fellow democrats about gun control.  And it makes a lot of sense.  The post is long and you probably won't read the whole thing, so here are his six tips:

1. Stop sending mixed messages
2. You have to understand what you're regulating
3. Stop using children
4. Stop pretending background checks don't already exist
5. Treat the NRA as what they are:  other American citizens
6. Don't forget about us (meaning Democratic gun owners)
